I just watched the editted version of the movie and was absolutely disgusted by the freaky beast that they added. What is that thing? It looks like the biggest freak of nature ever.... It's in the Mos Eisley scene, and I believe it rears and breaks away from it's owner. The thing is haunting me.

Maybe it's not added, maybe it's just an outtake they threw back in, but I'm reasonably sure I have never seen it before._________________)2eady? "A Royale with cheese"
Chew them out and spit them up. It's the way of the Nooblet.

Man, every time I saw it I couldn't figure out what I was looking at (Could be partially because I had just watched all of the prequals) The pics on the internet are a little more flattering than the CG in the movie._________________)2eady? "A Royale with cheese"

Didn't ILM just use a modified version of the brachiosaurus model from Jurassic Park to make the Ronto in the Special Edition of ANH? Either way, it sure looks like it. I don't consider the creature ugly, but the antics of the obviously fake Jawas on its back always make me sick.
Also, I consider the CG change to the dianoga's eye to be just as heinous._________________

The reason for that is because this change is only on the Special Edition DVDs, another change ol' George authorized before releasing the films on that format. Here are some pictures of the original and altered dianogas: Old and New._________________
